JustMike Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 I forgot to say in my last post that statements to a internet forum is totally naff. We had that with Wilde and the crap Questions stuff. Forget all that rubbish and sort the club out. This forum caters for nothing more than a couple of hundred fans and thus the majority of fans do not use it. Be proffesional and keep of the forum as it will be Wilde all over again. I hope this is the one and only time i read a statement on here from part of the prospective new owners team. It reads well but some will also read it as cheap pr and pandering to a select gathering of fans via an internet forum. Innocent it maybe but proved to be the downfall of others in the past. mmm new posters, both with same pointless moan. Beaten bidders...ex directors? Whoever you are, if you dont like it..dont come back. Simples! I welcome communication with the fans, through whatever medium they see fit, and FAO 4737_carlin, this site has more than a couple of hundred fans.

saint1977 Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 I'm really chuffed if this comes off in the next 20 days. The fans now need to unite and we need to regain the solidarity that we had and forget all the wranglings from Guy Askham and chums, they are consigned to the garbage bin of history. There will be a Saints to watch and in the long-term, a more competitive one at that it would appear. At this stage, a big well done to all involved and fingers crossed it all goes through now.

Whitey Grandad Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 Wonderful news! I wasn't really worried. In my opinion, anyone who has enough faith in the future of our club and us supporters to put up serious cash can post messages wherever and whenever they want. The last few seasons have been pretty depressing but at last I feel that we have turned a corner. My grateful thanks go to all those who have worked so hard to pull this off. Roll on next season! When can I renew my season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised its gone over the top of most peoples heads of the weirdos that frequent this forum. Seeing as we are all weirdos perhaps you'd like to log off? Or perhaps identify yourself at SMS at the first home game? Thought not. Quite frankly, a lot of us made mistakes with Wilde but after the 3 years that had preceded it, we were a bit vulnerable after Mike had become the largest shareholder. This is totally different and this group have to go through hoops that Mike Wilde wouldn't have got through. Actually, Secure Retirement probably wouldn't have got through them in 1996 either and Askham's retirement wouldn't have been quite so gold-plated at our expense.

Alright Dave Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 (edited) Great read, fantastic news As mentioned by many Le God being involved is fantastic, the guy is one of very few footballers over the last few decades who is very articulate and intelligent (bit like Niall Quinn in that respect), not to mention was one of the greatest players the UK has ever seen! His involvement as chairman or director of football will/would be awesome and can only be seen as a plus. I would love to see Tisdale brought in as manager, a Saint through and through, who has earnt himself the praise he deserves at Bath and Exeter, and would be nice to see him backed up by coaches like Michael Svensson and Frannie Benali, all Saints through and through would please me more than words. Its these kind of people who will return us to former glories, COYR's At the same time, if they have the money and could pull it off the bringing in of a Wee Gordie or a Kevin Keegan would make me wet myself, although in reality i know this is unlikely for many different reasons. Tony, Matt and Team thank you all so far for all your work, you deserve it All i will ask is you complete this deal and bring in a decent manager, and a few decent players and not by spending stupid money, i don't think most if any of us expect or even want that, more a bit of investment as and when its required and the full support and backing to the right manager who deserves their/our support. If and when this goes through guy's, lets fill St Mary's to the rafters and unite behind them, we are still the major key to the success of this club, lets never forget that, even if the last administration did!

niceandfriendly Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 you can only laugh at the sad acts like Mr Nice suddenly appearing with their eternal pessimism and pointless posts. there will always be people who need something to be negative about. i feel for those people. that letter from lynam was exactly what we needed. It's obviously far from being a completed deal, but they're clearly committed to the cause and have plans for the long term, which is exactly what we need as sorting out this club won't be a quick fix. If there is one man who can unite this city it's Matty and if this all goes through I can see Southampton being a happy place again in the near futuere. who knows League 1 football might be fun for a season or two with Matty in a position of power and this "substantially wealthy businessman" involved.

If the club wasn't bankrupt and about to go out of existance and Pinnacle didn't have to go through significant hoops, then your stance would be more understandable. This simply isn't comparable with the circumstances of 2006, there are no parachute payments to spunk up the wall.

Actually, this board has some fairly sharp professional and educated people on it so I would be discourage you from taking that line or you may get embarrassed quite quickly. If you don't think this is the right option for Saints or you are representing other interests, don't take part in the thread - simple. Pinnacle have come up with the goods at this stage, hence we are into the exclusivity element of the process. No PhDs or MPhils required to understand that.

I agree, its a little early to get too excited about all this, but lets be clear this is the most positive news we could have had at this time. I think what is also a very key factor is that the guy/gal has paid 500 grand deposit for an exclusivity deal, in the current climate who on earth would do that without being willing to follow it through? That being said there are no guarantee's in life and none of us should jump the gun, but you can only say that at this stage this looks promising for the future of OUR (the fans) club.

Wes Tender Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 I'll happily join the happy-clappy feeling that permeates most of us on this forum now that we have replaced the charlatans and the PLC. It's encouraging to see that apart from one or two sourpusses, this optimism is pretty widespread. But if those sourpusses believe that they are far too intelligent for us, or that most of us are weirdos, then perhaps they would be better off on some other forum if they can find one that caters for their special attributes. Personally, I found Mr. Nice's claims to intelligence somewhat lacking in credibility because of his inability to express himself cogently in English. If it isn't his first language, I'll be happy to apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
